Ireland, which, it was acimitted by Gentlemen from that conntryi.te •rptired a larger 'force, though responsibility tot the cor,Auct which brpo'ght about the necessity wAs oti the shoulflers of the Ministers, and .espe ci %Hy the Noble Lortl (Castlereagh), who coh sented-io compromise a measure he had himself. "declared to be essential to its tranquillity; 3. The troops required under the nen , systeid of Reliefs. The Noble Lord (Palmerston) had cal culated 12,000 men for the newly acquired' Colo nies he (Lott! A.) should allow 13,620. Thus 24,000 remained for : the Colonies which we pos sessed in 176. The comparison thus was— In 17W, for Cir. at Britain, 17,638. In 1818, 49,780 fur the Colunies, 9,546. Du. 21,000 Irish Regiments servitigabroad, e,490. 211,674 53,780 The difference between the number at one period and the other was upwards of 24,000 men. It was attempted to account for a part of the dif ference by the mode of Reliefs ;, 6,000 men were required for Reliefs at present. Suppose' 2,000 only were formerly so employed—this made a diffeteuce of 4,000 ; brit if this number was deducted, an excess of 20,000 remained. in the present year over 1786. For this excess one reason was orged—au increase of Popu lar di.atfection. He WAS sorry to hear this plea. 11 had been the boast of this and every free Qo ternment, that not our military force;' Wour respect to the. _laws, was sufficient - to ,preierve order. He did, not admit the troth of the pretext ; bta it he had admitted it, and admitted that it justified the iuct ease of force from 17,000 to 29,000 in Great Britain, this was no reason for increase in the Colonies. The increase of the po pulation of England surely did not make the West Jndia Islands less secure. Bat every thing tended to , ._Shew that less force was necessary than in 1746; In 1786% we had concluded an unsuccess ful war, tuid could test on military force only for our' defence. We had now concluded a successful war ) , and had a great army, in addition to our other force, on the continent of Europe ;—with our Alliei an immense army—to our Colonies no danger could be apprehended from any European Power. The only shadow of danger was from America. But the whole standing - army of Ame rica was 8000 met,, and to watch this, we kept up twethy•tour thousand in our Old Colonies. His argument, it might be said, went farther than the propositior, with which he should conclude, which nes, fur a redaction 'of 5000 men. His ,only reason for limiting it to that number was, that a motion for it greater reduction had been negatived by a large majority. If his motion 'was cairied, there would yet be an increase of .15,001) men, 'after the Lull allowance made for the reliefs. His Lordship then urged time ini= roc ante of the reductiou in an economical .as. well as constitutional point of view; especially .the reduction of influence. The reduction, be lbottalit; might best be made by taking 50 men teach from 100 battalions. He concluded by mov ing, that instead of 113,640 men,, the words !, 108,640 Wren" be inserted. Mr. WYNN agreed to much of the substance of the Noble Lord's . speech, but objected to it on the grontid of tom, and because he thought it would.not answer the end proposed. I n 1715 the ',umbers mentioned in the Mutiny Bill had been retlneed7irOjatkentlifibCrT o.; biCh Slip ittCralreen vranted, to 8,500. In 1721, from 14;244 to 13,244. to 1722, from 18;294 to. 16,149: 'Vet ail s those thoies, the ;:rekter , putpber, .that is, the number for which the supply had been granted, and . not the number rnentioned.in the Mutiny Act, had - been 'maintained. The \lords of the Mntinyakct wet e, in fact, recitory and not en-active. Much of the reasoning of the Noble Morey he aporOved of, especially the parCwltiell, related.to die Colonies ; but he disapproved of the ;manner . in whieirbis ideas were to be carried into effect.. tle had no ohjection - to tile maintenance 'of the proposed number of_ troops -in the Colonies, but' he thou ht the Colonies should bear the ex pend!. J &indica once maintainui two battalions of infintry' and a .regiment of cavalty. Mr. BAtaxEs could not agree with the Hon. and Learned Gentleman (Mr. Wynn). The precedents which the lion, and Learned Gentleman bad stated, slimed that it was. not irregular. The only reason- for the Hon. and Learned Gentle man's objection was, that for some 'reason or other, the wishes of the Legislature had been con travened by the Executive. If the Houses of Parliament conctirred in the vote now proposed, he had no doubt they bad strength and vigilance enough to see that the vote was executed. The Hon: Gentleman then pressed the necessity of re duction at Oh time, and observed, that though Mr. Pitt had been censured because be reduced the 'force, in 1 - 792, to so low an amount, that,,on the breaking out of the war, inconvenience arose from the necessity of speedily augmenting it ; yet no number 'which would then have been tolerated would have obviated that inconvenience. The state of the country was much iMproved, and he thought a reduction of three regiments, or 2,400 men, in Britain, and the same proportion on the colonial force, would scarcely be felt. He cor dially supported the motion Lord PALMERSTON maintained that the prece dents of the peace establishment of 1786 and 92 cciuld, not be consistently urged upon th.e present occasion, as the circumstances of thecoontry bad since those periods so materially altered. 'Besides,. Air. Pitt was confessedly deceived in, the 'calcu latioos noon which he founded the military es• tablishment in - 92 ; for when he proposed in the February of that year to fix its limit, he calculated upon the duration of the peace for 15 years.—lt was also known that the reduced amount of the army„through that establishrhent, served to para lyze military efForts for several of. the early years of ,the war, until indeed'our military force was advanced by very inconvenient and expensive But there was, in tact, no identity of circumstances between the state of the country in 1792 and that in which it was placed at present. Fur through the bast increase of our population, pal. ticillarri'ha the manufacturing districts, where congregated together, the 'people were so liable to 'he eNeited to tuniult in case of anytinterruption of our ,cuannercial'proaperity a or any scarcity of means. , . provisions throu r Oi unfavourable seasons, or of any' ,)bier cause for -popular discontent, •it was obvi ously neeeisary to, provide a notch larger military force for the preset vation of the public peace at Present than could have been required twenty-six year, ago. Yet, for this important purpose the whole force proposed for Great Britain would not . exceed 18,000 men, in consequence 'of the numbe r required rot Guernsey, Jetsey, and other garri sons, which was not, in tact, 5,000 men more tioin the establkhruent of 92. 1--1(')w then could 18,000 men he deemed too large, if Gen'lemen considered the number necessary to preserve the peace of the Metiopolis, in the first ins'anee It was clear, from experience at different times, on the discussions a few years ago, for example, upon the'Corn Bill, that the presence of a consi derable military force in the Metropolis was re quisite, to terrify and restrain ton brdent spirits trom disorder and outrage,—to protect the per sons ito ! l pr opert yof his Majesty's subjects. Again, a military force was necessary to guard the Dock yards, to assist the collection of the Revenue, and to preserve the peace of the interior of the coun try. For- such purpose 18,000 men could not surely be deemed excessive. Then as to the establishment prOposed for . Ireland,, the pro priety of "that proposition, had been fully shown by his Right Hon. Friend .(Mr. Peel), and he was glad'to see that this proposition was approved of by the several Gentlemen who were best ac quainted with the state of that country. Now as to the provision for the old Colonies, the fact was, that the increase of torce for that service, beyond the establishment of 92, was very trifling with.the exception of that for the Canadas, in which the mi litary establishment, and means of deence, were materially advanced, for reasons which it was un necessat y to state, and which implied no undue suspicion of the amicable spirit of the United States. The establishment of tile new Colonies,' which created" an iudiSpensable advanee on the total amount of our military farce, was, framed, he could adism, upon the 11/oit cOnsiderate gronnds, But the House notsr be aware that such places as the Cape of Goof Hope and Malta would he no acquisition- this Country if they were not ode . - quately garrisoned, and .the same might be said of others of our new Colonies, On -these grounds the Noble Lord' expressed his intention to vote against the motion. Mr. ORM was of, opinion that such an esta blishment would tend to ruin and destroy the country. He objected to its being •thotight ne cessary that a great military force should be kept up for the protection of London and the Dock yards. No such approach'to a military mania was ever before made in a time of peace. There•was not a levee now held without such a parade of drums, trumpets, and soldiers„ as would, at any former time, have induced us to believe' that the French were at our doors. There was a time - when his Majesty could hold a levee and his friends go to Court, without tieing interrupted by soldiers, which was - much more becoming in an English Monarch than such military' pomp. the argument-of the Noble Lord about the war in 1793 would have-applied to any period of our history; and this was one of the reasons why he objected to it. It might be made the ground of pluniing the country again into war, by haring at our disposal that fatal engine, a large military force. Ad the Noble Lord mean to say, that such was the dissatisfaction the contact of hiSters had produced,' that nothing but a large mi litary force could preserve the tranclujility of the country ? lie was convinced, on the contrary, that it would work the destruction of the very Constitution and Government that it was intended to protect. But the force in itself was not half so. alarming as the doctrines by which it was defended. .Lord NUQENT observed, that if Ministers were siaeere in their wishes for any reduction, he shOuld. like to see it carried into effect with regard to our foreign mercenaries: There was one large regiment, the 60th, which contained four full battalions, composed entirely of foreigners of different nations, and mostly deserters. The num ber of these battalions amounted to more than two-thirds of the whole reduction proposed in the army. Such a regiment had the last claim to be supported on the return of peace. They ought to be disbanded, and returned to the oato-al protec tion of the countries they had a claim to. Odcansi, Bering the subject of the military establishment for the last two years, his mind had been attracted to the Army of Occupation of France. He was aware Of the- difficulties there would. be in the recal and -reduction of that army; but he was also aware of the prejudices against keeping up such an army, and he would say that .110 establishment should have his ,support that was so, dangerous and un constitutional as to keep up. a British army in France in time of peace. He objected to it as being most prejudicial to civil liberty, because British force was employed to support a military Government ; and it was our duty to tell those soldiers,. on their return, that such 'a support as they bad given to France would be treason in Drgland. The Noble Lord then censured the. Treaty of Paris, as the tvorut and weakest that "could have been made . ; hot k ought to be scru pulously observed ; although he did not'find any article of that Treaty that authorized one part of the contingent to be formed of British troops. He would rather vote for paying mercenary troops, in order to _relieve the. British army from such a distPustin! , employment. ' lllr. WARRE could not see the necessity for any larger military force at present than existed in 1792, and if the manner in which the army were generally employed were considered, it would be evident to every rational being that no such ne cessity could be pleaded, unless it were deeined material to have soldiers stationed as centinels upon Chinese Bridges—to guard French mortars, -or to attend idle shews.—lt was extraordinary, he observed, with what facility. Ministers could get Hit-of the authority of Mr. Pitt when it suited their purpose, while they. held up that authority as an object of the highest reverence, on other 'occasions. Because .Mr. Pitt 'had proposed ti -moderate military establiihment, in 1792, in con sequence of the- probable. duration of peace and the embarrassed state of our finances, that. Minister was truly deceived, and d :itute of political fore ei sight. • The insurrection iii the Isle of Ely was pot down 'by a Cornet of Dragoons, a relative of the Hon. Member for Wiltshire. If, indeed, the French Revolution, with its ksolating principles, were yet in opera-tion—if the victories of 181 4 and 1815 bad not taken place—if the-Treaties of the Noble Lord (Castlereagh) had not been signed, then indeed he could understand the argtiments of the Honourable Gentlemith':opposite, in support ut suchatk,extensive military force. One tvonld suppose there was still the fear of some convul sion. .Indeed, from the round-about manner in which the Noble Lord expressed himself as to a tranquillity not yet consolidated, it would seem that the advocates for the present establishment thougbt so. It was with regret that hemoW saw in the great States of the Continent a determina tion to uphold what the Noble Secretary had so . justly described—a great military'plouster: 14111 with what Consistency could . Great I.iiirain inter= pose to obtain its extinction, until she herself first set the example ? The H onse then divided For Lord Althorpe's Motion ' tie Against it . Majority ' 2l The Mutiny Bill was then read a second time, and the third reading fixed for Monday. ROYAL BURGHS. Lord CASTLEREAGH seeing a Noble Lord (A. Hamilton) in his place, said, he was ready to give the answer to the question of that Noble Lord, respecting the intended Bill as to the Royal Burghs: The Lou! -Advocate of Scotland had prepared the Bill, but as be was anxious to have the opinion of - the law authorities in Sc'otland, on its nature and probable operation, he could 'not hold out the hope of its being snbj e eted to• the consideration, of Parliament before the recess. Lord A. HAMILTON .expressed his dissatisfac: Lion at the 'moire of "the answer, and felt, that from wl.:at hatl'fallen from the 'Lord Advocate on A former occasion, that - the measure ought now to be before Parliament. Sir JOHN'NEWPORT said, he could not avoid protesting against the , principle, now for the first time avowed, that those whose province it was to execute the lavv, should have an initiatory jinig ment on a measure intended for the consideration of the Parliament, It was an invasion of the pre= rogative of one branch of the' Legislature. The Bank Tokens' Penalty Suspension Bill went through a Committee: On the motion of Mr. CALCRAFT, a Return was 'ordered to be laic! on the table of the Amount of the whole Military Force employed! in Great Bri= Lain and the Foreign Stations, up to the Ist of March, distinguishing karge, Foot, and Artillery. The CHANCELLOR' Of the EXCHFQUER gave no tice.of his intention to move, on Monday next, for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Savings' Bank Act. THE LONGITUDE. Mr. CROKER moved •for leave to bring in a 13111 to consolidate the various Acts for %ranting Re warda for the discovery of the Longitude. The legislation on that head was perfectly anomalous, and had in some instances produced consequences, that never could he in the contemplation of the Legislature. The HonOurable Member enter ed into an historic ands scientific view of •the question . from the reign of Elizabeth to.sthe present period, and chewed that by the double operation of the chronometer and the lunar tables, the longitude might be almost attid to be actually discovered. Still, however, it was de sirable to obtain, if possible. a closer approxima tion to that 4esideratu#l. It his intention to propose a change in the Board of Longitude,.or' rather to restore it to its original constitution, by the addition olsirc scientific menibers,'resident in _ London or the neighbourhood. Three of these, he proposed, should have a salary of 1001 each. The Hon. Gent. in the course of his observations, adverted to the Nautical Almanac, which, during the time that it was conducted by its projectbr,the learned Dr.Maskelyue,was a most accurate and use ful publication.- He, was sorry to say, however, - that the Number for the - present year contained 19 grave errors, and the Number for 1819 (for it was published in anticipation) no less than forty—a circumstance highly unbecoming to the coontry in its - scientific character, and pregnant with the. most dangerous consequences to trawlgators. This was the fault of the individual called tire Comparer, to whom the various calcu lations made by the Computers un the ohserva- Guns of the Astronomer Royal were submitted.; at present a person nut responsible, hut whom it would be one object of his Bill to snake respon sible, by paying him a moderate hot. adequate salary for the superintendence ofahat work. An oWer object of 114. Bill would be to reenticile the contradiction existing between two Acts of Par liament, the one offering a reward to Captains of Whalers of 10,0001. • for an approach within o ne degree to the North Pole (with a view to facilitate the discovery of a North-west passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean), and the other compelling the Captain of a Whaler to swear that in his voyage he 'had not been actuated by any motive of profit, except that resulting from catch ialg whales. His object yeas to alter this oath by' introducing an exception with respect to the Par liamentary reward. He proposed that the pre sent rewards for discovering the lthigitude 015000/.' 7,5001, and. 10,0001. should stand as they were, but that the limits should, no longer he specified by Parliament . , but ,determined by the Report front time of the Board of Longitude to his Majesty's Council. After a variety of observations elticida tory of his object, the Hon. Gentleman concluded by moving for leave to bring in a Bill for the more effectual discovery of the longitude, for the encouragement of the manufacture of time-keep ers, and for the discovery of a N. W. , passage from, the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean: Mr. DAVIES GILBERT seconded the motion, and dwelt• at considerable length on the advantages that would result from the proposed measure. Jo the course of his observations he bestowed a high eulogium on, the late Rev. Mr. Hitchins, who was the Comparer of the' Nautical Ahnannck for forty years, when it was'under the superintendence of Dr. Maskelyne; and also on The late Rev. Mr. Edwards, who was one of the Computers em ployed on that-publication. • Mr.BROUGHAM, while he acknowledged the be nefits that,thel3ill•seenied calculated to confer on gaVigation, It'iSbetl . to know Whether thert * any difference of opinion among the present IVlem hers of the Board of Longitude upon the subject of the proposed-cliange ; and adverted to the in crease of patronage which would be occasioned by the proposed salaries of 1001. each to three men of science to be added to the Board. Mr•. CROKaR replied, that• not much difference of opinion could be suffered to exist ,ip ,a Board, that from the nature of irs present.constitution, met only. two or three times in the year . , and then sat but for a very feW hours; It was his ear• • nest wish to 'prevent any abuse in the nevyap pointments. They would be the result of annual elections by the Admiralty, and the salaries would be introduced into the Navy Estiintitei, "so as to admit-of their being canvassed by the House of Commons. The three first ►ndividuals to ,whotti• it was intended to offer these situations, were Di. %Vonlastop, Dr. Young, and Captain Kato ; than whom •three men Of greater science could-not - WE found in the country._ . • After• some further obseyvations from Mr. Smith, Mr. Wilberforce, Mr. Forbes, Mr. Croker, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in the course of which Mr. Croker stated that it was intended, to relieve the Nautical Almanack from the duty, leave was given to bring in the Bill.—Adjourned.
